Team Pacific has been allocated the settlement area of The Port: X marks the spot
Reflection on The Port location
Positive
Bay: Calm Waters, Suitable for shipping and cargo boats to enter and exit safely
Within 20kms of a river
Fishing for food supplies
Close to woodland trees which can be used to build shelter/rafts etc as well as be used for fire wood to cook food and provide warmth
Flat open land which could be cleared and used to grow crops and grazing as well as build infrastructure
Low elevation so it won't be as cold at night and also less windy
Access to the natural food growing in the forest, however it is not within 20 km's
Minus
Nearby swamps: May cause potential safety concerns due to high levels of bacteria, mosquitoes which can carry infections (which could be deadly if they don't have the right medical facilities) and may also have crocodiles.
Minimal Rainfall may affect potential harvesting
Furthest from other settlements which may cause issues in relation to transport and social interaction
Scrub land will most likely be homes to snakes which could be deadly if the right medical facilities aren't provided
Close to animal friendly habitats which may bring with them unwanted animals.
Interesting
Potential Trade opportunities as a result of the Port- allow settlements import and export
Is the closest water supply fresh and drinkable?
River flowing down from the mountains which may have fresh drinking water however it is not within 20 kms
Can we launch a boat/raft for transport from somewhere other than the port? For example, the beach? Is it calm waters?
